Champagne Boizel Champagne AOC Joyau 2012
Opens with a curl of smoked citrus, flaky pastry, pink grapefruit and toast. Plenty of character of a vintage Champagne as it gathers tertiary character, retaining a green apple kick of fresh acidity. 3g/l resisidual sugar, 10 years of ageing. Grapes from Premiers and Grands Crus villages of Mailly, Cumières, Chigny-les-Roses, Avize, Chouilly and Vertus. Florent Roques-Boizel director, 10% vinified in oak barrels. A complicated, slow-ripening vintage that finished well, and this has good ageing potential, although not quite at the heights of the exceptional 2008 Joyau.
